Sketchup 7 windows7 pro 64

Hi all, I am in need of some advice re the Greeble plugin. I seem to follow the workflow in the tutorials/videos but with no effect. Not a ripple. Have tried on planes/grids/boxes/spheres.

Any advice appreciated.

thanks in advance, Craig

(I am in meters unity)I suppose that is the problem
I have also nothing when I input inch unity
surely measures are not accorded and i don't want have an headache for make conversion
for have the good measures
so I take meter unity for simplify my life

Draw a simple box (7,6,4) select it and input numbers as shown
If you don't obtain something like this there is a problem

Hi, I tried again to use the greeble with the numbers in your parameters. Some success. It ceases to work at all when I input something into the offset parameters. I have tried in on a box and a sphere with the same results.

I have the offset.rb installed in the plugins folder along with the progressbar.rb and the greeble

any ideas as to where I am going wrong.

Please do download the file and see if it is possible to solve my problem. The file was created in the latest version of Sketchup.

This is made with my old Latticeizer script, 3cm frames and default pane with some PudhPull on the panes [with existing lines NOT kept] afterwards...

[bagatelo]

Please note the presentation that I have made in the attached file. That's exactly what I need. In some cases, I do not use handles in aluminum bar. I use ordinary handles. So I do not pull over 3cm from top face to bottom. In some cases, I use different spaces for 0.5cm, as requested by the woodworker or architect that I work. Thank you for your attention.

One day I will no more bore you, because I'm trying to learn Ruby Script. Thanks.

This plug is always very funny

[Chris Fullmer]

Pilou, you crack me up! Great stuff as always.

PS - what is your artistic style called, with all the vibrant colors and nonsensical shapes? I thought I remembered you using a term once that I found very interesting.

[pilou]

Surely "Flashy" for the other term I don't remember.
Speedy Strange surreal geometrical attractor ?
Because I don't spend more ten minutes by scenes!
If you have 5 minutes you can see some Zbrush folish
(section Zibi Art )

PS You have remarked that I have an immoderated use of your crazy "Random Painter" plug with SU

can't get no greeble

[pilou]

Go to SMustard (it's free)

[Bertier]

c'est installé avec tout ce qu'il faut mais ça ne fonctionne pas...

[Chris Fullmer]

Can you upload a simple model that you are trying to use it on that is not working? And also possibly open the Ruby Console (from the Window menu) and then run the plugin and see if it displays any errors there. Please paste those errors here.

This script does not always behave well...

[Bertier]

set to meters as Pilou suggested

trying to greeble a simple 100 x 100 square :

#Sketchup::Face:0x24e2b624 did not offset:
Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method normal' for nil:NilClass> C:/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/clf_greeble_2.rb:250:in greeble'

The error in line #250 is when it tries to get a normal new_vector = cl_newface.normal and the face cl_newface doesn't exist.
It is made by offsetting e which is one of clface[s] around lines #236 et al...
Not sure what's causing it... Chris?

[Bertier]

:0

sound chinese to me...

[Chris Fullmer]

hmm, somehow it is passing a bad vector parameter to the offset script I think.

An example model would be helpful. Could you upload a small test model that is not working right? Thanks!

Chris

[pilou]

Avec comme unité les mètres
Essaie avec ces valeur avec une figure qui fait au minimum 100 m par 100 par 100 m !
Pour avoir une extrusion continue
Il faut répondre oui à la question pour faire un "group" de la boite de dialogue une fois le plug lancé
Exploser le groupe résultat et recommencer

[pilou]

About the repetition from the last action : now we must make that
Select faces

@unknownuser said:

begin
Grebble with "Yes I want grouping the all topmost faces"

• else any faces will be not selected for a next grebbling
  Result
  Explode group = new topmost faces selected
  goto begin

it's possible but a little painful
Vieria Da Silva inspiration (cool gallery zoom possible)

Another thing: using the new plug of Selection aera by Sdmitch on a complex Greeble volume
Some faces are selected as wished, but the Greebble makes nothing
Have you some tests inside Grebble for exit if some faces are in particular positions (overlapsed) ?
(make nothing also with normal selection

Hey Chris, haven't look at it but i read in the previous version of this plugin that you planned on integrating a cancel button to cancel script execution.
Did you find a solution for this?

Thx
